Very great documentary. I thought it was a sad documentary about an abusive family BUT, it didn’t exploit the family or show the family in a bad light. It felt very real, I liked getting to know the brothers and listening about their stories. Even though we never got to know who was who, the whole group of brothers are very fun, funny, and relatable. I liked how they showed the movie scenes they reenacted and how movies helped them. Some scenes were very sad, and the dad is a vile villain. Lots of actually interesting and unique camera work in this, I really liked this documentary. 9/10
